To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I', EDWARD J. Vor: PEIN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at- Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State ofOhio, havein' vented certain new and useful Improvements in Cash-Reg'isters, of which Il declare the'following to be a full, clear, andexact description.

This invention relates 4more particularly to that classof lcash,registers'in which there is a series of di fferentially .adjustablesetting elements which are rst moved to the proper settingpositionf'andthen the complete operatlon ofthe machine vis subsequentlyeffected by means of an operating member such as a crank handle; anditis among the obiects of the inventionto provide' impro-ved devices forrestoring the setting elements to normal position, and to associateWiththevarious settingr and'operating mechanisms certain devicesrequiring a. proper sequence oi operation of the .various elements, allof 'which will be hereinafter morespeciiically set forth.

These improvements are shown and described as applied' to thestyle ofcash register set forth in Letters Patent of the United States to ThomasCarroll,

lNo. 751,611, issued February 9, i904., but it win readilyd'rawings'which l.accompany and form part of this.

Fig. 4 represents a detail View of certain of the'partsshown in Fig.` 3, including the special restoring lever and locking.devices ,connected therewith. Figs'. 4f* and l5 represent detail. viewof part of the locking devices shown in Fig. 4. Fig's5, (land 7represent -further detail view oi the sepa-rate devices shown in' Fig.3, the parts .beingr in these iig'ures shown in displaced position. v

v in the general operation of the nnichiue ,there is series ofdifferential amount setting 'levers' l() (see- Fig. 2) which areattached to segmental plates ll pivoted upon a transverse shaft l2, andthephules ll are formed at their rearward sides withieeth l3 which...mesh with teeth l4`forrued onthe forwardside of a vertical-rack barl5, which rack liar carries onits upward portion a' platte l5 formedwith counter actuating teeth 17. fter the :unount levers have been Setto their proper positions by the aid of denominational scales which maybe suitably attached to the outer cabinet of 'the machine, thev mainoperating shaft 1S is revolved by means of a crank handle or othersuitable device, whereupon the counter (not shown herein) is bodilycarried downward in an oscillating frame 19 (see Fig. l) to cause theregi 'tring wheels of the counter to he moved over thc counter engagingrack 17, and thereby the counter is actuated to an amount correspondingto the setting'positions of the amountlevers. lA reference to the above.mentioned Carroll patent will give a more elaborate ydescription or'the registering devices, such description not beingr necessary hereinsini-c those registering elements are not involved in the presentiluprovements. i

After the amount levers have once been set and the machine operated asabove described, it is very desir- `able for the purpose 'of avoiding,mistakes, to provide soine means for restoring all 0i the amount leversto normal zero position prior to their adjustment for a. subsequenttransaction., and this mechanism will now be dcscribed. The actuatingmoans i" or this purpose comprises a special restoring lever 2() whichis last to a plato 'ill-pivoted upon the tra nsverse shaft l2. Therearward lportion of the plate Zlis formed with teeth 22 which mesh withteeth 23 formed on a lever 24 suitably pivot. ed at `25 to a supportextending downward i rom the main frame of the machine. This lever 24.has pivoted to it at 26 a link 27 which extends forward and at .'28 ispivoted to the rearwardly extending a rm 29 ola disk loosely mounteduponthc shaft l2, this disk 30 having iorined in its forward sido slot 3lthe'purposeoiwhich will be later described. The erin 29 has formed uponit a lug, 32 which is arranged to engage a. shoulder 33 formed inacollar 23d fast upon the shalt l2. lt will'thus be seen that when thorestoring lever 20 is pulled downward, the intcrmoshing oi the teeth 22and 23 will causo the lever 24 'to be rocked downward thereby carryingforward the link 27 and giving thc disk 3() rotation rc.- vcrsely tothat of the direction oi movement of the lever 20 and its disk 2l. Thismovement oi thcdisk 30 is ntilized'to restore the amount setting leversto normal position in the manner now to bc described. i Each amountsetting lever as shown iu Fig. Z is mounted to rotate Vircoly upontheshaft l2! by reason oi the collar` 35 attached to the segmental plaire li. but cach plaie ll has formed uponits sido u. squarr.\ lust 3G whichlies in the path of an. arm 37 fast to and projecting outwardly from theshaft, so that any setting movement of the lever 10 will cause the lug36 to move the arm 37 upward and thereby rock the shaft 12 in itsbearings in the frame of the machine, and therefore the shaft l2 will berocked to an extent corresponding to the greatest amount of any amountsetting lever which is operated, and this rotation of the shaft 12 willof course also rock the collar 34 (see Fig. 1) to bring` the shoulder 33nearer to the restoring lug 327 and if any amount levei` is moved to its9 7 position the shaft l2 will be rocked sufficiently to cause theshoulder 33 just to engage the lug 32. Now upon the operation of therestoring lever 20, the lug 32 is given a reverse movement in the mannerjust described and therebyby rocking the collar 34 and shaft 12,restores all the arms 37 to normal position and hence by acting upon thelugs 36 restores all the setting levers to normal position. A spring 38(see Fig. 2) extends between the main frame of the machine and one ofthe arms 37 to cause the shaft 12vnormally tobe rocked in the directionto restore the setting levers to normal position.

ln order to hold any amount lever in the position to which it isoperated and thus prevent its return to normal-position under theimpulse of the spring 38, the

vertical rack plate 15 has attached to it a detent plate 39 which isformed with teeth 40 which are engaged by a detent plunger 4l, whichplunger is suitably soeketed in a stationary cross bar 42 of the machineand is normally held in engagement with the teeth by means of a spring43 which presses against a pin 44 extending through the plunger. Theshape of the/[teeth 40 and .the plunger 4l is suoli as will be seen fromFig. 2 that when the amount lever 10 is moved downward it will beimpossible to return the same to normal position., only advance movementof the lever being possible, while retrograde movement is impossible.When the levers are restored to Zero however in the manner previouslydescribed, itis necessary of course to withdraw the plungers 41 fromengagement with the teeth 4() so as to permit this restoration7 and thismechanism will now be described. The rearward ends of Ithe plungers 41pass through apertures formed in the forward sideof a rock frame 46which is fast to a. rock shat 47; the frame constituting two downwardlyextending/legs 48 and 49. The butt end of each plunger 4l abuts againstan adjusting bolt seated in the leg 49, so that the rearward movement ofany amount setting lever will, by forcing the 'plunger 41 rearward asthe teeth 40 pass over the same, effect a slight rocking rear.- ward ofthe frame 46. There is also formed upon the rearward end of the plunger4l a pin 50 which is arranged to be engaged by the forward leg 48 of the rock `frame; this engagement takes place by means of an independentrearward rocking of the. frame 46 in a. manner to be described, thisindependent engagement takteeth 40 so that .the amount levers can returnireel y.

The mechanism for effecting this is shown in Fig. 3

and also more clearly in detail in Fig. 5. Fast upon the rook shait 47is a two-armed lever 5l, the normal position ,of which is shown in Fig.3 and the displaced position of which is shown in Fig. 5. The upper endy of this lever is formed with a laterally projecting lug l o2 which isarranged to be engaged by a nose 53 formed .on the rearward end of anarm 54 which ai its middle portieri is slotted lo surround the shaft l2and at its for ward end is pivoted toa link which link al its-lower endis suitably pivoted to a .support 5o extending upward from one of thecross framcs of the nmchine and at its upper end carries unanti-friction roller 57 which is arranged to be engaged by the disk 2lof the special restoring lever 20. carries a pin 58 which rests upon therearward arm of a lever 59 pivotcd at its middle portion o0 to a supportextending from the main frame of the machine, and the -forward arm ol'the lever 59 carries a laterally extending lover but when the amountlevers are all in normal Zero position, the rock shalt 12 is in suchposition that the lug 62 rests upon the liange Gl and raisesl therearward end of the lever 59 so that the pin 58 is lifted and the nose53 remains out of Contact with the lug 52 as shown in Fig. 3. As soonhowever as any amount lever is moved from normal position, the attendantrocking of the shaft l2 withdraws the lug G2 from contact with theflange Gl and permits the rearward end of the lever 59 to dropsufficiently to permit the nose 53 to engage The rearward end of the arm54 the lug 52; this takes place prior to the movement of the restoringlever 20, but as soon as the restoring lever 2O is operated to returnthe amount levers to normal p'osition the cam formation. 65 of the disk2l now engages the anti-fiiction roller 57 and by rocking backward thelink 55. also pulls back with it the arm 54, and consequently the nose53 acting upon the lug 52 causes the rocking ofthe lever 51 into theposition shown in Fig. 5; and this rocking of the lever 51 rocks theshaft 47 and thereby rocks the frame 46 (see Fig. 2) rearward to suchan' extent that the leg 4S contacts with the pins 5() o1" all theplungers and withdraws the plungers from contact with their respectiveteeth 40 so as to permit the free return of'all of" the amount levers tonormal position. As soon as the amount levers have all/ been restored tonormal position, which occurs when the special lever 20 reaches the-limit of its downward position, the lug G2 see Fig. 5) is again broughtin contact lever 59 and thereby disengage the nose 53 from the lug 52 topermit the lever 5l and the rock shaft 47 and the rock frame 46 toreturn to normal position, this return of the lever 51 to normalposition being assisted by means of a spring 66 (see Fig. 3). which isattached at one end to the segmental lever 24 and at the other end to abolt 67 which passes through an aperture 67*FL (see Fig. 4) formed in aflange 68 extending laterally from the lower. end of the lover 51, theconstruction being such that upon the first part of tho downwardmovement of the lever 20, the consequent movement of the lever 24 doesnot put the spring G0 under tension until the lever 20 has reachedalmost the limitiof its downward stroke, at which time the head G9 oftlrl bolt G7 comes in Contact with the ange 68, and thereupon the springbegins to be put under tension by the continued movement of the lever 20so that as soonas the lever 5l is released in the manner just described,the spring (3G will act to restore 4it to normal position, but

senses vent the subsequent movement of any one of theA amount levers;and this is effected by means oi an arm -70 (see Fig. 2) which isfast tothe rock shaft 47 and at its upper end carries an anti-friction roller71 which cooperates with a disk 72 fast'upon the main revolution,

shaft 18. The disk 72 is formed with a recess 73 which when the shaft 18 is at normal position stands opposite tlmy anti-friction roller 71 sothat upon the movement of any amount lever the recess 73 will permit themove- Y ment of the arm 70 caused by the successive move- 4ments oftheplunger 41 as the .teeth 40 pass over it; but assoon as 'the revolutionshaft has been operated the periphery of the disk 72 now rides over theroller 71 and locks the arm 70 from movement thereby preventing ltherocking of the shaft 47 and 4thus effectually locking all of theamountsetting levers from operation while the main revolution shaftremains inpartly operated f position.v When however the revolution shafthas made one complete revolution, the recess 7 Sie again opposite theroller 71 so that'the' shaft/47 could be rocked, the devicesV justdescribed being already old in the art; but

' the present vimprovements comprise a ydevice which after suchvcomplete revolution of the shaft 18 still preventsthe operation of anyone of the amount levers unltil the restoring lever has been operated toreturn all of the amount levers to zero, and thereby it is impossiblefor theoperator of the machine to move any one of the amount levers uponthe subsequent transaction until he has first operated the restoringlever to return all of the amount levers to zero, and thus the liabilityto mis- -takes by permitting one ef the amount levers inadvert-`viou'sly described pin 52, another pin 89 which projects laterally onthe opposite side from the pin 52, as

, shownl in. Fig4 4, and this pin 8O is arranged to coperate with'alocking bell crank lever 8l which is suitably` pivoted to a support 82extending from the main frame. yThe rearwardly extending arm 83 of thisbell crank leveri'sformed on its lower side with a locking shoulder 84as best shown in Fig. 7, and when the arm 83 isv dropped into its lowestposition this shoulder engages the aforesaidpin 80 and thereby-locks thelever 5l from forward movement, as vshown in Fig. 4; and when in suchposition lit will be apparent that since the lever 51 and the shaft 47cannot be rocked forward, it will be impossible to move any one of theamount levers l0 because it would be impossible to move any one oi thedctent plungers 41 as long as the rock frame 46 remains lockcdin thismanner. This condition of the parts takes place at the ond ofy a'complete operation of the machine; and 'y upon a succeeding operationof themachine, the

amount lovers are unlocked by the operation of the spe-- cial' restoringlever 2() and are then carried back to normalposition asheretoforedescribed. This unlocking of the amount levers is effected asfollows. Pivoted at 83a to the disk 2l of the restoring lever 20 isalink 84* which extends rearward and is pivotod at 85 to the upperportion of a rock plate 86 (see Fig. 4" which plate is provided with acollar 87 which is loosely mounted. upon the rock shaft 47. At theforward side of this plate is pivoted a Wiper pawl 88 which is normallyspringdrawn against a stop pin 89 by means of a spring 90.

The rearward arm 88 of the bell crank lever 81 has formed upon it on oneside two lifting pins 91 and 92 which coperate with the rocking plate86, and on the other side a latching pin 93 which cooperates with a'latching pawl 94 pivoted to the main frame at 95 and said pawl beingshaped with a latching notch 96 to engage the pin 93 and a releasingfinger 97 which coperates with a lug 98 fast upon the main revolutionshaft 18.

Upon the top portion of the plate 86 is formed a singloi tooth orprojection 99 which coperates with the lifting pin 92 for the purpose tobe described. The operation of these parts is as follows: 'The arm 83resting in the position shown in Fig, 4 with its shoulder 84 engagingthe pin 80 to prevent the rocking of the shaft 47, the restoring lever20 is nowv pulled downward for the purpose of returning the amountVlevers to normal position; and upon the initial movement of the lever20, the forward movement of the link 84'? rocks forward the plate 86`andcauses the tooth 99 thereof to strike the lifting pin 92 and therebylift the shoulder 84 out of locking position in front of the pin 80, sothat as soon as the cam 65 of the restoring lever diskl 21 operates torock the lever 51 in the'manner previously described for the purpose vtime be raised farenoiigh'above the pin 80 to perrxiitthis.k

rocking of the lever-51 and shaft 47, and after the tooth 99 has passedthe lifting pin 92 the arm 83 nevertheless remains raised; out oflocking position, since thepin 80 now strikes the lifting pin 91 and byreason of the movement ofthe pawl being limited by the stop pin 89 thepawl now acts upon the pin 91 to lift the arm 83 and thereby carry thelatching pin 93 ,upward far enough to be engaged by the notch 96 of thepawl 94, the pawl 94 and the bell crank lever 8l being connectedtogether by means of a spring 1 00 which normally draws the pawlvforward and the arm 83 of the bell crank lever downward Thisdisplacedand latched position of the arm 83 is shown in Fig. 7, andduring the movement of the restoring lever 2O of course'the amountlevers are restored to zero position and are nowiree' to be operated. Assoo'n as they are operated then the registration is effected therotation of the shaft 18, whereupon the lug 98 strikes the releasingfinger 97 and forces the pawl 94 backward and permits the arm 83 againto drop down so that its shoulder 84 again engages the pin 80 and lockstl l', amount levers vfrom movement until tho restoring leder has againbeen operated, Y

All;

lt will thus be seen that aiter the amount levers have once been sot lorone transaction and the machine operated to effect the registration, theamount levers cannot be again set except after the operation of therestoringl lever which re-sets all ot' the amount levers to normalposition; and in order to prevent a, second successive operation ot' therestoring lever a iter it has once been operated to restore the amountlevers to normal position the following device is provided as shown inFigs. 3 and (i. Fast upon the disk 21 of the restori .of lever is asecond and smaller disk havingr formed on its upper side teeth 11.1which are engaged by a pawl 1.12 which is pivoted at 113 to the support82. The pawl 112 is formed with a raised shoulder 114 upon which, whenthe restoring lever 2() is in normal position as shown in Fig. 3, thererests the laterally extendingr flange 115 whieh projects from theiorward end of a lever 11oI pivoted to the support' 82 at 117', thelever 110 and the pawl 112 being connected by a spring 118. When therestoring lever is nioved downward, the pawl 112 engages the teeth 1l l.to prevent retrograde movement of the restoring lever, and as soon asthe lever reaches the extremity of its down- 'ward position as shown inFig. 6 a projecting lug 115) formed on the periphery of the disk 11()strikes the pawl 112 and rocks the same about its pivot to such anextent that the supporting shoulder 114 is thrown rear\,vardsufliciently to permit the llange ll to drop into position to engagelarger teeth formed on the upper periphery of the disk 21; and theflange now remaining in this position against the shoulder 11-1 holdsthe pawl 112 out oi engagement with the teeth 111 to permit the lever toreturn to normal position, but the engagement oi the flange 115 with thelarger teeth 120 now prevents the lever from Aagrin being advancedtoward lower position and permitting only return to normal position, andwhen the lever has thus been returned to normal position it ispermanently looked h'om movement, in any direction until the mainrevolution shaft 18 of. the maehine is operated, in which event a pin121 formed upon a disk 122 which is last to the revolution shalt 1Sstrikes the rearward arm of the iev u' 116 and thereby forces the samedownward and thus raises the forward end of the lever to withdraw thoflange 115 from engagement with the teeth 120, whereupon the flangeagain rests upon the shoulder l'l-ft and the lever 2O may now beoperated. The upward movement oi the lever 2O is limited by means of astop arm 123 fast to the side ot the lever,-

whieh stop arm strikes the stationary support 82 when the lever is innormal operated position, as shown in Fig. 3; and the lever is normallyspring drawn to its upper position by means of a spring 12-1 extendingbetween the stop arm 12? and the main frameot' the machine, so that itis merely necessary for the operator to move the restoring lover to theextremity of its lower position and then release the saine whereupon itwill of itself ily hack to normal upper position.

ln order to prevent aseeond operation of the machine after the amountlevers have once been and the crank handle once operated, the followingmechanism is provided as shown in Fig. 1. The afore tid disk 30 which isrotated in a direction reversely to that of the restoring lever disk 21in the manner hitherto described, has formed in its forward side theslot 11 whioh has already been referred to. Projeeting into said slotseason end of a lock retracting arm 131. The rearward end of this arm1.31 is formed with a V-shaped slotl 1,32 which engages a pin 133 formedon the upper end of a locking pawl 134 pivoted at 135 to a portion ofthe main trame of the machine, lthe pawl 1311 and the arm 131 being com.

neeted by a spring 186, which normally draws the arm 131 downward anddraws the pawl 134 rearward so as to carry a nose 137 formed thereon,into engagement, with a lug 13S formed on the other side of the disk 122which carries the pin 121 as just described, and is fast to the mainoperating shaft 1S. When the restoring lever 20 is moved downward, thedisk 30 is rotated reversely as hitherto described and at the end of thedownward movement ot' the lever 2O the lower end of the slot 31 isbrought into position to engage the pin so as to force rearwardly thearm 131 to an extent sullicient to bring the forward portion of the`i-shaped slot opposite the pin 133 so that the arm 13,1 drops downslightly and because of the shape of the slot the pointed portion l2 9is now hooked over the pin 133, so that upon the return of the lever 20to normal position, the upper end of! the slot 11 now strikes the pin130 and retrdcts the arm 13]. thereby carrying with it the pawl 134sofas to release the nose137 from engagement with the lug 1118, thusunlocking the main revolution shaft of the machine And upon therevolution of the main operating shaft 1S by means of the crank handle,the lug 198 strikes the rearward ond of the arm 131 and lifts tho sameto such au eX- tent as to Withdraw the nose 1.39 from engagement withthe pin 133, thus permitting the pawl 131 again to spring rearward intoposition to engage the lugl 138 and lock the machine from a secondoperation until the restoring li ver has been operated as beforedescribed to release the operating shalt.

The setting of the amount levers also serves to set suitable rotaryindicators to denotethc amount of nach tnnisaotion, these indicators1110 boing pivoted upon a transverse shaft 141 and being set directlydiy'thel proviously described rack bars, l5 whith cari) upon their upperends racks which meshwith pinions fast to the indicators all asdescribed iu the aforesaid (arroll patent. ln ordor to Coneealthoseindicators as soon as the restoring lever has been given its initialmovement to effect the restoration of the amount levers, there are provided screens or flashes 142 which are Carried upon opposite ends ofarms 14S mounted to turn upon the shaft 141iv These Hash arms arenormally drawn to horizontal position by means of a. spring 1114, butthe arms are retained in upper position by means of the engagement ofthe pin 145 with a nose '|116 formed in the upper curved end o1 an arm1-'17 which at its lower end is pivoted to the disk 2l of the restoringlever. On the upper ond of the arm 147 is pivoted a wiper pawl 11S whichis normally retained against a stop pin 14) by means ot' a spring 150,the lower end ot the pawl normally resting upon a stationary transverseshaft 151. When the lever 20 is drawn downward, the arm 14T is Carrieddownward with it but the pawl 11S bears against the shaft 151 andthereby Carries the upper end of the arm 117 forward in such manner asto withdraw the nose tltl irom ongagenieut with the pin 115, thuspermitting the flash to drop under its spring tension; but upon thecontinued downward movement of the arm 147 the pawl HS slides free pastthe forward side ofthe shaft 151 is a. pin la() which extends laterallyfrom the forward and theuppor ond of the arm H7 is then drawn rear- 130cernes ward to such an extent that the nose 146 is again brought intoposition to engage the pin 143 upon the upward stroke of thelever 20,whereby the flash will again be raised to expose the indicators uponsuch return stroke of the lever 20. Thearm 147 is normally drawn rear-'Ward by means o' a spring 152 so as to cause the nose 146 lli 0 alwaysto engage the pin 143. p

In order to prevent the operation of the restoring lever while the cashdrawer remains open, there is provided on the rear oi 'the cash drawer160 a rearwardly extending arm 161 upon which there normally rests aplunger 162 which is spring-pressed downward by means of a spring 163,the extent of the downward movement being limited by means ol a stop pin164. A second pin 165 fast to the middle portion of the plunger 162engages the bifurcated rearwardly extending arm of a `bell crank lever'166,' the downwardly extending arm 167 of which bell crank lever isformed with a locking notch 16.8 which is arranged to engage a pin 169formed on the rearward end of the link 27 heretofore described as beingv'rocked downwardly and forwardly upon the movement ol the restoringlever 20. It will thus be seen that when the cash drawer is open the arm16 tw ill be withdrawn from beneath. the plunger 162 so as to permit theplunger to assume its downward position, whereupon the pin 165 will actupon the bell crank lever 166 to carry the notch 168 into the patho thepin 169, and thereby the restoring lever cannot be operated until theCash drawer is closed, this device necessitating the closing of the cashdrawer at the end of sich operation of the machine beiore'a secondregistration can be effected. y
